SPINACH LASAGNA ROLL UPS

It’s the end of January and I have Valentine’s Day and our Anniversary on my mind. I am in full prep mode for our special month. Our favorite dishes will happen and the desserts that we love. One of our favorite foods is definitely lasagna. We love Italian food and lasagna seems to be the most popular dish. I even make a One-Pot Lasagna Soup! Today, we are taking it to a new level. With just a simple twist, our lasagna turns into elegant roll-ups that are perfect to be served for a romantic meal or celebratory family dinner. It’s so easy, you can make it on a weeknight or during a lazy weekend!

HOW TO MAKE LASAGNA ROLL-UPS?

• In a large saucepan, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Add seasoning, chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook 2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, stir in and simmer.
• Remove meat sauce from heat. Spread 4 to 5 tablespoons or sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish. Set aside.
• Mix together ricotta cheese and egg. Add spinach and stir in. Reserve half a cup of mozzarella and half a cup of Parmesan for topping. Add the rest of both cheeses to ricotta mixture and stir in. The mixture should be thick.
• Cook noodles (according to package instructions) until al dente.
• Place cooked noodles on a large baking sheet. Place 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture on each noodle. Spread with an offset spatula or a spoon. Top with 1 tablespoon or so of meat sauce. Keep it away from the edges of noodles, for neat roll-ups.
• Roll each noodle and place in prepared casserole dish. Top each roll up with about a tablespoon of remaining cheese mixture and meat sauce. Top with reserved mozzarella and Parmesan.
• Cover loosely with foil ( make sure it does not touch the toppings) and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and let stand in room temperature for 10 minutes.
